I was and still am amazed at some of the immediate results I have seen
with both of my dogs. There are still one or two issues that we are working
on but I am confident with a little more time and work those issues will
soon be solved as well. I only wish that I had learned of Bark Busters
sooner! Carol was absolutely fabulous!
- Ricki H. - Edmonton AB
We saw a change within the 1st hour... Extremely well presented and taught.
I would definately recommend this method of training and highly recommend
our trainer! - Linda & David B. - Winterburn AB
We are both so thrilled with the results of the Bark Buster's training.
Our dog seems brand new and for the first time in her adult life, she
seems happy and relaxed and we are so enjoying our dog! How can we ever
thank both Carol and Greg! Our commitment is genuine, the training methods
were made clear and simple and they work! From the first meeting with
Carol, our dog took on a whole new persona and while she is indeed testing
us frequently (she is a terrier after all) we both feel well equipped
to handle all situations and look forward to challenges that we feel we
can successfully meet thanks to Bark Busters! We have already recommended
them to everyone we know that has a dog! THANK YOU!
- Marianne & Rodney F. - Edmonton
We are very happy with the results we've had with Oaklee since Bark Busters
came to our house. I wish we had done this
sooner as it was well worth it. Oaklee's change in behavior
is truly amazing and has made our lives and hers a lot more relaxed and
happy on a day to day basis. I would definitely recommend anyone to Bark
Busters that is having behavior issues with their dog -- Oaklee is 7 years
old and had MANY issues with severe fear aggression to the point that
it was diffucult to even take her out of the house for a walk or car ride.
Now I can confidently walk her and take her places which is really something
I didn't think I would ever be able to do! And, she doesn't bark at the
window or outside when a dog or people walk by anymore -- before she would
have attacked the window and ran the fence! Thank you Carol, your help
is really appreciated by Chris, Oaklee and myself.
- Erin S. - Edmonton
I was amazed at how quickly I saw changes in Max. The comments I heard
from friends was "It's like a whole new dog!" I now feel more
confident in what I need to do for a better behaved, happier dog...
- Melinda R. - Edmonton AB
I am very pleased how Dyson and Daija has progressed from the very first
day you see results, its still early but it was worth every penny I was
at the point of giving up. Bark Buster methods are so easy to implement.
Thank-you so much Carol
- Dianne, Ray and Rob N. - Leduc AB
We have already recommended Bark Busters to another family. As you cautioned,
AJ has begun to challenge us but we are determined to be the dominant
leader and continue to do our homework. However, the change in him immediately
following our session was remarkable. - Karen & Wayne Z. - Edmonton
AB
This was a great experience and I have already given the Bark Buster name
to two other friends with dogs, I expect you will hear from them in the
very near future.
- Peggy D. - Edmonton AB
My husband was a bit skeptical at first, because of the cost, but I was
so much at my wit's end with Milo's behaviour that I was willing to try
anything. My husband and I both believe that this was money well
spent, every penny of it! Carol showed us how to take control,
and how to be the pack leader, which is what we were having troubles with
on our own. She gave us the confidence, not only in ourselves, but in
Milo, to be the best dog that he can be. Milo's behaviour did a complete
180, and it is like he is a whole new dog! Thank you, thank you, THANK
YOU!!
- Tara and Steve G. - Edmonton AB
Carol was so patient, helpful and positive. She really addressed our particular
issues with our dogs, and made us feel confident in our ability to overcome
those issues.
The system is simple and clear, quite beautiful really - learning to communicate
with your dog in a way they can understand.
There's still a lot of work to do, but we can see a light at the end of
the tunnel, and our home is so much more peaceful since Carol's visit.
- Jana & Chris O. - Edmonton AB
The entire experience was amazing. I couldn't believe how fast my dogs
reacted to the training. - Gail M. Edmonton AB
I enjoyed it very much. Carol was extremely professional,knowledable and
helpful. She took all the time that was needed. I look forward to the
next meeting. I was really impressed by the whole process. - Barbara
H. - Edmonton AB
Really thought the program was easy and not hard to continue with the
training after the first lesson. Our dogs are completely different dogs
and really happy to have gone through with the training. It was a solid
investment towards our future with Chewie and Gizmo: - Amie A. Edmonton,
AB
Enjoyed the training and was impressed with some of the immediate changes
in behaviour I saw with my two dogs. Also valued the information and suggestions
on how to deal with two dogs (siblings). I have recommended this training
to many family and friends. Those that have tried it were also very impressed
and grateful for the referral. – Tammie & Dean Y. Edmonton,
AB
While looking for obedience classes on the Internet, Bark Busters caught
my attention because of the opportunity for in-home training, the life
of the dog guarantee, and the quality of professional service offered.
We were not disappointed!
Wow!
We greatly appreciated how Carol assessed our pack/family and dog's needs
in such a personal way - something we would not get at the usual obedience
classes. Our family received a concise, yet thorough education on dog
and pack mentality that was presented in an interesting manner - our
9 year old daughter took notes of every bit of visual information in Carol's
presentation.
While we didn't have huge issues with our dog (who we already thought
was pretty great), the practical application of the training was amazing!
Once Prince realized he didn't have to be the pack leader, not only did
the behaviors we were requesting help with change, even those we weren't
seeking help with were resolved, e.g. getting along better with our two
11 year old cats!
It's been only 10 days since Carol did her initial training session with
our family and the transformation that ocurred in just a few hours has
continued as we have followed through with the training we received. We
are so glad we chose Bark Busters and we will continue to highly recomment
your service to others.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! - Joanna & David M.
This program is by far the best resource that we could have to help our
dog. She is happier and so are we. We know that with your guidance we
are able to ensure that Missie is safe and happy. Thank you for everything.
- Jeanette T.
One word sums it up ... WOW! With just 3 hours of training we have a completly
different dog. We had a house full of people three days after initial
training and our family and friends could not believe it was the same
dog. He is so well behaved! Thanks Carol you are amazing! - Candice
M.
The change in my two Havanese dogs was instantaneous. After one Bark Busters
session, my dogs were not barking at the doorbell and were waiting until
I invited them before greeting the guests! Also, even though it wasn't
on my list of things that I wanted to work on (there were many), my dogs
now walk calmly beside me on walks and are no longer pulling ahead or
stopping to sniff everything. The tools are easy. The system makes a lot
of sense. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a better
relationship with their canine members of the family!
- Mari-Jayne & Al M.
Dear Carol and Greg: such a fabulous lesson we had last week. I learned
so much about dog behaviour and how to deal with Miss Mike in that context.
We now do speak the same language. Mike has drastically improved already
as have we. We are careful not to let her win any of the passive battles
Mike was quietly waging (and which we didn't even know about!!). The small
things really do matter. I cannot tell you how amazed I am at what Carol
was able to accomplish in such a relatively short period of time.
I went to the dog food store recommended by Carol and
it really is impressive. The second time in, I gathered up my courage
and decided to buy Mike a bison bone (something that she would previously
has regarded as prize food.) When I got home with the bone, I went through
the drill of placing the bone on the kitchen floor, calling Mike over
to me so that she would have to pass by the bone etc. Mike was the
picture of obedience. I then gave Mike the bone, let her chew it a bit,
and then
called her over. She came to me without hesitation. I've done that a few
times since and all is well.
So thank you again. I am just thrilled.
Thanks again for everything. I highly recommend your company
and have very grateful for the results achieved.
Best wishes,
Shannon.
I am still in shock over the complete change. I am a much better leader
and Baxter has been the perfect pal! I love spending time with him and
my husband has noticed a big change! I know Baxter is happier and I am
stonger as a pack leader. THANK YOU! - Brenda W-F.
I was amazed at how quickly our dog realized he needed to behave differently
based on the Bark Busters techniques! You could really see him thinking
and trying to figure out what was the appropriate behaviour. Our therapist
was clear and open. I am really glad I decided to try Bark Busters and
am looking forward to happier, less stressed times with our dog. I would
DEFINITELY recommend Bark Busters!.
- Jen & Gord F. – Edmonton, AB
VERY IMPRESSED – Colleen H. – Veterinarian - Edmonton,
AB
We
have told family & friends and our veterinarian what a wonderful program
Bark Busters is, and what a great job Carol and Greg did”.
– Lucy – Edmonton, AB
We found this to be an amazing program. Our wonderful dog has just gotten
better since our meeting with BarkBusters a few days ago. He no longer
barks when the doorbell rings,or obsessively barks to demand our attention
for a game of ball. He no longer jumps up on people. He comes on call
...We are having fun with the bahhh and are relieved to get rid of the
pinch collar. The quality of your (Carol) presentation was superb. This
was excellent value for the cost. I'm torn in terms of
hoping that we never have to call in your service again - but so enjoyed
the experience would regret not seeing you or meeting your husband. We
are still in awe regarding the immediate effectiveness of this approach
and are so sorry we didn't know of this in time to save our last dog.
You are certainly a huge gift to the dog community and of course to the
dog owner community. Our sincere thanks.
- Rob and Cassandra S.
Two words for the Bark Busters System – ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! If
we had not witnessed the transformations that took place with our own
eyes, we never would have believed it – it was nothing short of
a miracle! After our session with you yesterday, we left ALL the dogs
(including Bentley) in the house and went to work. We returned home about
4 hours later expecting to find upholstery fluff all over the place and
a dog fight brewing. We entered the house using our newly-learned techniques,
made our way to the kitchen/living area and everything was FINE!!! The
only thing different was the dogs – they were calm and submissive!
We were finally able to both sit on the couch and watch TV without having
to referee a dog fight (or two) or wrestle couch cushions away from Bentley!
It was pure Heaven! When it was time for bed, we once again used the techniques
you taught us to go up the stairs and enter the bedroom. The most amazing
thing happened when we invited them all in (Bentley included) –
not one of them tried to get on the bed!! Instead of going on a rampage
as he previously would do, Bentley took his “security” blanket,
laid down on a dog bed, gave a big sigh, and went to sleep!! The others
either found an empty kennel and went inside (with no persuasion) or found
an empty dog bed and curled up and slept the WHOLE night!!! This morning
went smoothly – just a few corrections for Bentley. Don took him
for his daily run, starting out on the lead so they could practice the
new techniques. Don reported the run was a success and Bentley did awesome
on the lead!! When we left for work, all the dogs were inside and not
one of them followed us to the door as they had previously done. We are
both in total awe of the changes that have occurred in less than 24 hours!!
We look forward to spending the rest of our lives with our “new
and improved” pack! This has truly been a life changing experience
for all of us and we cannot thank you enough for changing our lives for
the better. It is our sincere hope that all the people we have told about
the system take that step and schedule a session – it will be the
best thing they ever did for themselves and their dogs! We will be enthusiastically
recommending you and the Bark Busters system to everyone we know and meet
who has a dog or dogs. Thanks again from all the Quistberg’s
(Don, Ronalda, Loki, Pebbles, Mika, Cha-Cha, and last but not least,
Bentley)! – Calmar, AB
Bark Busters you were WORTH EVERY PENNY. My experience with Bark Busters
was wonderful. They gave me the skills I needed to communicate and train
my dog. I would recommend Bark Busters to anyone who needs help training,
or, needs help with any bad behaviour the dog might have, because they
have helped me with numerous issues with Zeus. Thanks again for helping
me with Zeus.
– Lori G. Edmonton, AB
I cannot believe the change in both Muffie and Bentley, and so quickly.
They are like different dogs. I wish I had called you years ago! -
Darlene F.
Everyone looks at us like we're crazy when we “BAH” Grace,
but the effect has been amazing!. We are all (including Grace) so much
happier. It is a pleasure to walk her and have her in the house now. We
have been telling everyone we know. In fact, my husband said that it should
be mandatory for dog owners before they can get their dogs licensed. Thanks
so much! – Jessica C. Gibbons, AB
WE ARE COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH WHAT BARK BUSTERS HAS DONE TO OUR FAMILY
- THE TRAINING HAS PROVIDED US WITH A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OUR LIFESTYLE
WITH OUR ANIMALS. – Ron & Janel Q. Calmar, AB
Almost all the problems are corrected….barking at bicycles/people,
barking in the car, and consistently coming when called….The results
have been astonishing!.
– Winnie W. Edmonton, AB
Thank you so much!. I had actually thought that Teddy was untrainable,
but he took to your methods immediately. It was more than I could have
hoped for.
- Susan O. Edmonton, AB
Excellent presentation! The strategies Carol presented were very helpful.
I found the individualized nature of the program much more helpful than
ANY previous dog training classes. – Janet M. Edmonton, AB
We have had numerous comments about the AMAZING change in our dogs. We
recommend Bark Busters to everyone! - Blair & Isabelle M –
Edmonton, AB.
Carol - your system has transformed our house. Our puppies are really
learning the rules and it makes it so much more enjoyable to be around
them. Thanks so much for such a glimpse of what is possible for our two
bassets!.
- Sandy H. Edmonton, AB
This was a tremendous experience in seeing how to better communicate with
my dog. He seems much more responsive to my wife and myself, and although
he still likes to try and push back for dominance, we have a much better
handle on how to have him behave as we would like. The service and knowledgeability
of Carol was top notch, and I would recommend this training to anyone
and everyone I know.
– Mark T. Edmonton, AB
Totally amazed! Like having a brand new dog .– Diane K. Edmonton,
AB
Truly amazing! Wish I had done this sooner! – Diane G. Devon,
AB
Thank you for your time, instruction and patience. We really are just
amazed with Ebony’s progress in 3 days (and so are all of our friends).
She is great on the leash, staying right next to us. Does not bark at
other dogs now, etc. She has fallen in line so quickly, it is just amazing!
It has made me feel so much more confident about leading her and she is
a happier and calm dog. On our walk this morning, 2 small dogs came running
up to her (not on a leash)… before this would have lead to an all
out fight! Ebby was great, the dogs all sniffed each other and we continued
on our walk. Not even a growl, I am so impressed! Ebby even slept through
the night with no growling or chasing the cats too! I look forward to
more improvements but wanted to thank you. People have been stopping us
on the street as they can not believe how well behaved (and cute) she
is. Thank you for bringing peace back into our lives. - With Gratitude,
Hannah, Nash, Ebony & the three cats! – St. Albert, AB
Hi Guys! Teddy is doing great... He hasn't been barking...he sometimes
tries to get ahead of me on the stairs..but gives up when he realizes
we have to keep doing it over. He is doing really well on the leash and
coming when called. I hope soon - he'll be confident in me - so we can
go to the off leash again! Thanks for everything!! - J’lyn N.
– Edmonton, AB
It's only been a day, but we already see significant improvement in Skipper
and Gilligan's behaviour. We are confident that this session has changed
our relationship with our dogs and that it will make our family happier
and more balanced. Thank you so much for guiding us in the right direction.
- Brad and Suzanne H. – Edmonton, AB
Wonderful experience! We find that our dog is responding to the many techniques
that Carol shared with us. - Janet M. - Edmonton, AB
Carol was wonderful. She was patient in explaining the various concepts
and made helpful suggestions to fix some of the problems we were having
with our dog at the office. We were amazed at the quick response of our
dog who seems much more relaxed and happy now - as are we! Thanks very
much! - Shannon P. Edmonton, AB
My dog responded immediately to the training, so I knew it was “speaking
his language”. I was happy that the training is gentle as my do
can be ornery and sometimes tender, so I didn’t have to worry. Thanks
again. – Carolyn B. - Edmonton,
At first I was skeptical because of the demeanor of the bulldog breed
– Stubborn!... We didn’t think anything could change their
behaviour. But we were very surprised to see how quickly they responded!
Thanks – Shara V. – Edmonton, AB
I was impressed, very easy to understand, almost immediate results.
– Shannon C. – Edmonton, AB
The training was easy and it worked. All the animals in the house are
happy and seem to respect the “new order”. Even though it
has only been two days, our dog Cana understands the new rules and I am
less stressed. – Sonja H. – Edmonton
We
really enjoyed having Bark Busters come to the house so all of the family
could participate. We have noticed everyone being conscience about the
training Carol spoke about. Thanks for all your help. – Jodi
S. Edmonton, AB
We were very impressed and relieved to see non-physical techniques used
to correct our dog’s behaviours. Carol was very helpful in translating
what we understood about pack behaviour into specific changes we needed
to make in our own behaviours. We noticed changes with Tia within 2 days.
Thanks Bark Busters.
– Donna S. Edmonton, AB
I would like to thank Carol and Bark Busters for the great lesson. It
opened my eyes and taught me a lot. It has been one week since the lesson,
and I have to say I have a much calmer dog! We work daily on our walks,
which have become much more pleasant and the doorbell and answering the
door is much better. Thanks again. – Michelle S. – Edmonton,
AB
Carol, I would not have believed Dash's response to your training methods
had I not seen it for my own eyes. Thank you for your patience and encouragement
as you worked with us and Dash the other evening. I am so glad you allowed
the whole 'pack' to participate; now everyone is on the same page at the
same time and I don't have to convince anyone of Bark Busters methods.
Dash is much more settled already. Our homework assignments are clear
and well laid out. The first few days were a breeze with Dash and then
just as you had warned us, she began to test us and the rules for a number
of days. But we were not surprised and persevered with all the techniques
you taught us. Again, thank you. With gratitude - Dash's 'pack'
- Diane, Dave, Nadine, Josh and Michael R.
Thanks Carol! Gus is doing great! Our walks are much more pleasant and
he is almost always quiet when we "practice" the door scene.
We've still got some work to do, but we're very impressed by the improvement
we've seen in such a short time.
- Paul W. and Katie H.
We found Carol to be quite a joy to work with and found that we were very
surprised at the responsiveness of our three Jack Russells and how easily
they learned. We would and have recommended Bark Busters to our friends.
– Ian H. Edmonton, AB
We love our little dog, but we were concerned for his safety, as we live
in an area with many other dogs. He is small, but thinks he is mighty,
and our walks became a problem and unpleasant as he picked fights. By
the end of our lesson with Bark Busters, Baxter was walking beside us
ignoring other dogs, and the lunging and pulling on the leash was over.
- Margo B. Edmonton, AB
Thank you very much Carol & Greg, for all your help! We cannot believe
the difference in our dogs just after one day! We are telling everyone
we know about the fantastic program at Bark Busters. – Jeff
D. & Debbie J. – Edmonton, AB
